Everyone seems to think that _L is some big crazy language that is substantially different than AHK. The main thing is that 99% of the language is exactly he same as what you already know. Chances are that all of your existing scripts will just work in AHK_L. Read This compatability list, and if any of those changes seem relevant, then you might have to tweak a script. The benefit to you is you get all of AHK_L's enhancementson top of AHK Basic. Nothing requires you to use the new features, but you will eventually need to do something that is covered by _L (for me it was COM) that would have been more of a pain in Basic. Basic is certainly capable of most of these things if you jump through enough hoops. The thing with _L is that all of the hoops have already been jumped through. The fact is AHK_L allows you to do more complicated things, and gives you access to cooler code from the forum, but it doesn't require these things.

this is google's cache of the last expressions explained script, with some text removed to reduce the size for the forum. I'm still working on getting the html page that went with it. <!-- m -->http://www.autohotke... ... amples.htm<!-- m -->
